 NEW YORK, Dec. 14-Young Henry $. Ives, the most recent Napoleon of finance, was polishig g his silk hat and arranging his necktie previous to leaving his new office at No. 96 Broadway yesterday afternoon when Court Officer Edward O'Connor, of the Tombs squad, entered and served the smil- ing fnancier with a warrant of arrest. Ives has had SO much to do with officials of the law lately that it takes more than one police man to scare him, so he calmly read the paper and remarked: "Im charged with grand larceny, see. Let us go up to my lawyers"
 Justice Kilbreth had put on his overcoat and was just going home when the officer arrived with Ives. He obligingly took his seat on the bench again aud listened to the complaint, which was made by Julius Dex- ter of Cincinnati, president of the Cincin- nati, Hamilton and Dayton railroad. Mr. Dexter was present, and had as council MT. George W. Cass.
 The affidavit upon which the warrant for the arrest of Ives had been issued alleges that on June G. 1887, certain draft, num- bered and drawn by the First National bank of New York to the order of the Cin- cinnati,, Hamilton ard Dayton Railroad COlAtauJS AOA pAOVsOOO, anu AuuoA eCu OJ tIO assistant treasurer of the company, F. H. Short, had been stolen by Henry s. Ives. The draft was alleged to be the property of the railroad company. It had been sent to Ives, as trustee of the company, to be turned over to A. R. McKeen, Iresident of the Terre Haute and Indianapolis Railroad com- pany, in part payment of $SS9, 800, which was due to the latter road for rolling stock purchased by the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton. Ives, instead of indorsing and de livering the draft to the order of President McKeen, it is alleged, indorsed it to the order of H. s. Ives & Co.. of which George H. Stayner an Thomas c. Doremus were copartners, and deposited it with the Ameri- can Exchange National bank to the credit of the firm.
 'What have you to say to this charge, Ives?" asked Justice Kilbreth.
 '1 am not guilty" replied the young Ma poleon, coolly. 1T was not prepared for this and did not expect to be arrested. The case is one for civil legislation"
 Justice Kilbreth tLen fixed Thursday at 10 a. m. as the time for examination, and that in view of the large amount involved he would fix the bail at 25,OOO. Justi e Kilbreth said he would wait until 5:3O for bondsmen, and messenger jumped into a carriage and started away for Brooklyn to get Ives sister to go on the young financiers 1 bond.
 Five minutes lefore Justice Kilbreth' s time was up the messenger returned with | Miss Mary C. Ives, a handsome and fashion ably dressed young lady, who was flushed and nervous and about on the point of bursting into tears. She greeted her brother affectionately, and said that of course she would go on his bond. Then Miss Ives de- clared that she was the owner of house in Joralemon street, Brooklyn, and that it was valued at $50, ,0O0.. She was accepted, and Henry drcve home with her, looking as calm l as usual.
 Ives feels sure that he will be acquitted on l Thursday
